Originally from the Netherlands, Dhaliwal came to Vancouver 10 years ago and earned levels 1-3 of her Wine Spirit & Education Trust (WSET) diploma as well as a Certified Specialist of Spirits (CSS) accreditation and in 2012 became a familiar face behind the bar at the renowned West Restaurant. Three years later, as West’s Bar Manager, Dhaliwal claimed top spot at the Global Belvedere Challenge in London, England and the inaugural Vancouver Molinari Sambuca Cocktail Competition.

In 2017, Dhaliwal — a Canadian brand ambassador for Belvedere Vodka and Hennessy who also mentors up-and-coming young bartenders as a spirits instructor — was singled out by her peers for the ‘Best Bartender’ award at the prestigious Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards, becoming only the third woman to claim that crown in the then-28-year history of the annual awards ceremony.
